The (flight) path to net zero with sustainable aviation fuel
Energy Evolution
Decarbonization Demands High Standards
The emissions differential between traditional jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is crucial, with a minimum requirement of 50% carbon savings over a lifecycle for SAF to qualify under recent US incentives. Current bio-based fuels achieve carbon reductions of 50 to 75%, while advanced fuels utilizing carbon capture and renewable hydrogen can provide over 90% savings compared to fossil sources. Understanding these metrics is vital for measuring the effectiveness and adoption of SAF in the aviation industry.
